Definitions

  • Small size breathing protective device arranged to be held in the users mouth.
  • a breathing protective device comprising a tubular elongated filter housing defining at least one wall between a first end and a second end, said wall having at least one opening , a filter in the filter house and a mouthpiece having an air canal with an opening arranged to be introduced into and held in the user's mouth whereby said filter house extends parallel to a line between the corners of the user's mouth, said air canal being in communication with at least one space within said housing for filtered inhalation air and exhalation air respectively, and wherein either the filter or the filter with the housing is disposable.
  • Breathing protective devices used today are either very advanced, e.g. conventional gas masks, or more simple breathing protective devices that cover the mouth and nose. Gas masks have their given field of use in extremely dangerous environments that require advanced air purification. Simple, conventional breathing protective devices that cover the mouth and nose are widely used for lack of anything else, in environments also requiring air purification, despite such devices being uncomfortable and in many cases having insufficient purification ability and other drawbacks.
  • Breathing protective devices of a kind having a mouthpiece arranged to be introduced into and held in the user's mouth have also been suggested.
  • breathing protective devices reference can be made to those described in WO
  • the invention aims at providing a breathing protective device of the type mentioned in the introduction above, will provide for a perfectly satisfactory protection in many work environments and that has many practical advantages in addition. More specifically, the invention aims at providing a breathing protective device that fulfils most of the following advantages and/or requirements: • A good purifying effect • A small breathing resistance both at inhalation and at exhalation
  • a breathing protective device of the type mentioned in the introduction characterised in that:
  • said filter is arranged to separate a first space from a second space
  • said air canal is arranged to enable supply of inhalation air from said first space via said filter
  • the invention a very cost efficient design is achieved that provides many advantages.
  • One important advantage is that there is a need for only one check valve to achieve the needed function of the breathing protecting device and according to a preferred embodiment the support structure of said check valve may be integrated of the filter housing.
  • the filter in itself is used to separate the space for incoming inhalation air from the space for exhalation air, without any need of using costly extra barriers or walls, but the existing resistance of the filter in itself is used to achieve the separation of said spaces. Accordingly the exhalation air will not pass through the filter, which is an important advantage in many applications.
  • said second space circumferentially surrounds said first space, preferably in a substantially coaxial manner, which improves the ability of creating a compact breathing protection device having high filtering capacity.
  • ⁇ that said filter is curved in a plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the filter house, and preferably that said filter is arranged with a plurality of folds in the longitudinal direction of the filter house to form a folded, star shaped body in a perpendicular cross-section, which further increases the ability of creating a compact breathing protection device having a high filtering capacity.
  • the whole breathing protecting device is disposable, which provides the advantage that exhalation air that is expelled through the opening has travelled substantial equal distances independent if passing through the upper portion or the lower portion of said outer space and also providing an outlet of the exhalation air that may not disturb the user.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view, obliquely from above, of breathing protective device according to the invention
  • Fig. 2 shows another perspective view of the breathing protective device shown in Fig.
  • FIG. 3 shows a front view of the breathing protective device shown in Figs. 1 and 2, but presenting a modification regarding protective caps,
  • Fig. 4 shows a cross-sectional vertical view of along IV-IV as marked in Fig. 3
  • Fig. 5 shows a cross-sectional view along V-V as marked in Fig. 1.
  • breathing protective device includes a filter housing 8, a filter 2 positioned within the filter housing 8, two openings 50, 70 for inhalation air, an opening 82 for exhalation air and a mouth piece 9.
  • the filter housing 8 is shaped as an elongated, substantially cylindrical tube that extends between a first end portion 5 and a second end portion 7.
  • the filter housing 8, preferably has a total length of about 100 mm (+/- 25%), and an outer diameter of about 30 mm (+/- 25%) and a wall thickness of approximately 1 - 5 mm.
  • Each opening is provided with an inwardly extending annular portion 55, 75 arranged to engage/position the filter 2.
  • the mouth piece 9 is formed generally as is known per se from for example diving gears, comprising a tubular section 52, that forms a canal 51, having a front end leading into said housing 8 and a rear end debouching into an elongated opening 54, to be held in the mouth of a user. Adjacent the opening 54 there is arranged a pair of wings 58, that extend obliquely back wards and out wards, to provide dental fixing means 59.
  • the front end of canal 51 leads to a peripheral space 83 that is provided directly at the inside of the housing 8, which space 83 surrounds the filter 2 and is in direct communication with the opening 82 for exhalation air.
  • said opening 82 is provided with a check valve 1.
  • This check valve 1 has the function to prevent air to enter into the space 83 when a person is inhaling through the mouth piece 9.
  • Many different kind of known check valves may be used to achieve this function.
  • a check valve 1 comprising a number of moveable, flexible members 30 (membranes) that are overlapping, such that they may cover and seal the openings provided them between when there is a lower pressure within the space 83 than outside of the check valve 1.
  • this check valve 1 will open to let exhalation air out of the device, i.e. air coming via the canal 51 of mouth piece 9 and the space 83.
  • the other way around the check valve 1 will be closed to allow air to enter via the inlets 50, 70, into the inner space 80, from the inner space 80 via the filter 2 into the outer peripheral space 83 and thereafter via canal 51 into the user, when the user of the breathing protective device inhales air, through the mouth piece 9.
  • the front opening 82 is provided with a protection cap 84 arranged with a plurality of openings 85 (here in the form of curved grooves), presenting a sufficient total area of openings to allow for an appropriate flow of air without undue resistance and also protecting the filter by not allowing larger objects to pass through the cap 84.
  • the form of the openings 85 may vary, e.g. to extend radially, which in many applications may present an advantage.
  • protective caps 84 may also be used to protect each one of, or at least one of, the openings 50, 70 at the ends 5, 7. In one embodiment all caps 84 may have the same design/size, which provides scale advantages.
  • the filter 2 is supported by the annular portions 55, 75 at each end 5, 7 of the filter housing 8.
  • the filter 2 has an inner diameter that fits onto said annular portions 51, 71, and a sufficient length to allow these portions 55, 75 to protrude into the central space of the filter 2, to securely fix the filter 2 in the housing.
  • the filter 2 is preferably of a folded type, presenting a cross-sectional star shape, i.e. made of a filter web 20 that is provided with a plurality of inner folds 22 and outer folds 21 and that has been joined to form a circular arc of 360°.
  • the preferred breathing protective device has such a shape and according to the preferred embodiment also such dimensions that it can be kept in a small bag, that can be attached for example to a belt, or even in a pocket in the work clothes of the user.
  • the mouth piece 9 is inserted into the users mouth, while the nostrils may be sealed in a conventional way, for example by a noose clip that can be attached to the breathing protective device (not shown).
  • the non-return valve 1 seals to allow air to pass into the inner space 80. Accordingly air is sucked in via the openings 50, 70, into the inner space 80 of the filter house 8, via the filter 2 into the outer space 83 , thereafter through the canal 51 within the mouth piece 9 out through the opening 54 into the mouth of the user.
  • the breathing resistant caused by the breathing filter 2 is small, especially in relation to the small dimensions of the breathing protective device.
  • the filter 2 having a comparatively large surface, thanks to its length and its folded design.
  • the arc-like distribution over the filter surface, of the air that is sucked in, also promotes a low breathing resistant.
  • the breathing resistance of the breathing protective device is almost negligible.
  • the canal 51 and tubular outer space 82 are wide, and the membranes 30 open up at extremely low overpressure, thereby providing a device with hardly any noticeable resistance. Thanks to this design, and the fact that the filter 2 does provide some resistance no (or at least very small amounts) of exhalation air will pass through the filter 2, which is an important advantage since normally this kind of filter material is negatively influenced by humidity.
  • the breathing protective device shown in Fig. 1-5 is formed of five parts A-E, to allow for cost efficient production by means of form moulding in plastics.
  • a mouth piece 9 may be provided that is intended for multiple use, i.e. merely the filter house 8, containing the filter 2, may be made disposable or indeed merely the filter 2.
  • a type of filter having the trade name Technostat, 200 gr/m 2 is suitable when the breathing protective device according to the invention is to be used e.g. in dusty construction sites or by persons having allergy troubles for e.g. canine, feline or bovine hair or pollen.
  • a filter stuff should be used that is finer than the one in Technostat, 200 gr/m 2 , in which case the filter however may have the same design as the described one and be manufactured by the company mentioned above or some other manufacturer.
  • still finer filter stuffs can be used in the filter that is part of the breathing protective device according to the invention, e.g. filter stuffs containing activated carbon, ion-exchanger materials or other absorbents or adsorbents for uptake of gaseous or vaporous pollutants, as well as welding fume and other fumes.
  • the filter house 8 e.g. may be of varying shapes, e.g. a tube with an orthogonal cross-section.
  • the term wall 81 evidently must be given a very broad definition, since also in embodiments having a minor part of the circumference covered by a wall or mesh-portion, there is created a design defining a wall-like imaginary structure.
  • the openings 50, 70 for passage of air into the space 80 within the filter house 8 can be given varying shapes and sizes than shown above, without impairing the functional the breathing protective device in any way, given that the total area of that opening is kept within optimal ranges. In this connection it is evident for the skilled person that this may also be achieved by the use of merely one opening 50. Is should also be mention that the filter 2 can be of another type than described above.
